...AND uncompressed sound, TWO noticable advantages. |
Uncompressed sound is not an advantage. Lossless sound is an advantage. If you compress something lossless, you produce /exactly/ the same stream when it uncompresses as if it was never compressed in the first place. That's just a fact.
Higher quality sound is primarily an advantage of HDMI as digital optical could only support 1.5Mbit/second feeds. But telling the difference between 1.5mbit/second and significantly higher bitrates will be fairly difficult for 5.1 sound.
